There are doctors, and then there are doctors. One simply brings your fever down and tells you that you are cured. The other finds the root cause, seeks to eliminate the source, and ensures you truly overcome the illness. There are teachers, and then there are teachers. Some come to school just to "recite" the lesson and collect their paycheck—which is why so many remain uneducated. In these cases, both sides share the blame. Then there are teachers who strive by all means to instill knowledge in children's minds. Their methods vary—sometimes strict, sometimes manipulative—but at least they achieve results. There are parents, and then there are parents. Some hover over their children in constant fear, while others rely entirely on the environment to raise them. There are politicians, and then there are politicians. Those who venture into the halls of power for the first time often feel empowered to transform the system and ensure a smooth transition. But there is a virus there, an infection that is difficult to eradicate. This virus is referred to as "Lie more," "Take care of yourself now while you can," and "Corruption?" Just say what the voters want to hear and "Vote for laws that benefit you." Then there are the veteran politicians who are so thick-skinned that even if you spat in their face, they’d claim it was a "warm rain"—all while passing the virus on to the newcomers. There are citizens, and then there are citizens. Some are always dissatisfied, constantly finding flaws in others while viewing themselves as perfect beings. They talk much but act little. They offer advice before they’ve even listened to what is bothering you. Then there are the "invisible" citizens—those who will help you at any time. They are the ones who pick up trash from the street just to keep it clean. If you ask them, they will guide you toward the right decision. They won’t scold you for your mistakes; they will support you until you succeed. Whether such behavior is a matter of upbringing or nature, only God knows. There are the wealthy, and then there are the wealthy. The first group believes that everything should belong to them, and their greed is limitless. The second group uses their wealth to provide jobs for others, helping society flourish. These people have a sense of "enough"—they understand the true meaning of philanthropy. There are the poor, and then there are the poor. The first kind will never accept help, no matter how diligently you try, because they have internalized their poverty; their lack of awareness makes them "incurably" poor. They fail to realize that waking up healthy each morning provides hope for any goal. The second kind understands their needs but does not allow their desires to control them. There are believers, and then there are believers. Some truly believe in their faith and moral values, striving to live within those boundaries. Others use religion as a tool to achieve personal goals or to project their insecurities onto other faiths. They fail to realize that God (as called by believers), Energy (as called by scientists), and Mother Nature (as called by others) are one and the same. The only issue is which "prophet" one prefers to follow. Often, these people use religion as a shield to judge and oppress others. Finally, there are specialists, and then there are specialists. In every profession, many are "qualified" but hide behind their diplomas, performing repetitive tasks without growth. Then there are the few who specialize so deeply that they discover better, simpler ways—whether through machines or systems—to make life easier for everyone.
